Chapter 311: Probing

Screech~~~

A harsh scraping sound rang out.

Seimei's long katana sliced across Kakuzu's throat, leaving a faint white mark.

Seeing this, Seimei frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Too bad!"

He hadn't developed Lightning Release Chakra. Otherwise, with Lightning Release's advantage over Earth Release, it would definitely have a better effect than Wind Release.

As a result, he couldn't even break through the opponent's defense.

Fortunately, maint...

*Chapter 556: Total Box Office Rankings*

The person who is probably most upset about Meryl Streep winning Best Actress this year is Harvey.

Back in 2012, he spent millions of dollars and even used Obama’s PR team to help Meryl win the Best Actress award, but in the end, the award was snatched away by 21-year-old Jennifer Lawrence.

Meryl Streep received a lot of sympathy after missing out, and the media predicted that the next time she was nominated for an Oscar, s...

### Chapter 446: Full of Sincerity

Dustin-Thorne was adjusting his tie, still not accustomed to this kind of attire. He hardly ever wore a tie throughout the year, and if it weren't for Mike-Donovan insisting that this was a basic form of etiquette...

Even so, Dustin still glanced at Mike with a face full of reluctance.

Mike-Donovan, the Vice President of the West Coast Artist Division at Warner Records, noticed the resentful look from his left and felt a bit helpless, but u...

*Chapter 151: Kate Wants to Buy a House*

In the afternoon, the sun shone brightly over the small town, and by the shimmering waters of Ashley Lake, a tall figure paced back and forth in the shade of the trees.

“Kate, are you home?” Luca gently asked over the phone.

“Yes, I just got here!”

Inside the apartment on 76th Street, Kate was lounging on the couch in blue pajamas. She appeared relaxed, but her long legs and slender waist exuded an undeniable a...

Chapter 60: Is It Really Just a Photo?

At this time, Elizabeth Olsen was still relatively unknown, far less famous than her two older sisters. Her sisters were among Hollywood’s first "internet celebrities." As children, they were so cute that they starred in a popular TV series at just a few months old and quickly rose to fame. Afterward, they became highly sought-after, much like Dakota Fanning, constantly receiving offers.

However, their focus remained on television, and while they did star in a few films, none w...

Chapter 25: Strangling the Scandal in the Cradle

---

The office of Full Speed PR was still brightly lit late into the night.

Caroline Jones, with her straight golden hair and striking red lipstick, hung up the phone and pressed the intercom. "Sasha, Amanda, come in."

Two women, both notably less attractive than Caroline, entered the office.

Without wasting any time, Caroline got straight to the point. "Ten minutes ago, Donny the junkie and Sarah the idiot were caught cheating in a hotel. Someone took pho...

Chapter 24: For Whom Do Fireworks Bloom?

In just three minutes, Edward Connor drove his car to the delivery location, but didn’t see the buyer.

"Over here," came a man’s voice from the dark alley, the glow of a phone screen lighting up a friendly face.

Edward turned his car into the alley, driving further into the darkness.

He wasn’t worried or scared; as a man from Compton, he was like a night spirit.

“Good thing I’m bold—who else would dare deliver like this?” Edward said as he got out ...

Chapter 23: Crooked Ways

At the front desk, Downey was standing in line to check in.

Hawk found a seat at the lounge area, sitting by a small round table. As usual, he immediately began assessing the situation, observing the environment and looking for any advantages.

Across from him sat a woman with immaculate makeup, a great figure, and wearing a tight-fitting short dress. She noticed Hawk's business attire and took him for some high-end businessman on a work trip. She raised an eyebrow in his di...

Chapter 22 The first order of entrepreneurship

As night fell, Hawk started his car and turned onto Sunset Boulevard.

His stakeout at the gym and in Brentwood had been fruitless during the day. He decided to try his luck at the Viper Room.

He parked his Mondeo on the side of the road, stowing away his camera and camcorder since they were too bulky to carry. Instead, he pulled out a small voice recorder and slipped it into his pocket. Then, he took out his newly purchased Nokia 7650 and snapped a photo with its 300,000-...

*West Hollywood, Los Angeles Museum of Art.*

A charity art auction had just ended. Melissa Ackerman, dressed to the nines, left with a smile. She was Buddy Ackerman's favorite daughter and the CEO of Ackerman Pictures.

Robert Downey Jr. hurried from behind, catching up to Melissa, and softly asked, “That project, The Phantom, there’s a role that would be perfect for me…”

“That project is being led by Sony and Warner. I’m on...

*Late March, Los Angeles, East Hollywood.*

In the parking lot of Ranch Park, Frank Brown sat atop his RV, his gaze drifting past Fountain Street, where he noticed a new tenant moving into the two-story house across the street.

The newcomer had short black hair, a thin face, a fit body, a calm demeanor, and a modest presence that made him blend into the background.

When the man exited through the security door and looked his way, Frank generously g...

*Park City, Merano Cinema.*

The movie Intruder had just finished, and the credits began to roll.

Hawk stood up, clapping his hands.

The other audience members gradually stood as well, applauding enthusiastically.

In just a few seconds, over a hundred audience members were on their feet, clapping in unison.

The applause was thunderous and unrelenting.

In the front two rows reserved for the media, Gina curio...

Chapter 18 Don't Eat Soft Rice

In a rustic-style bar, country music was playing softly.

"What are you drinking? Whiskey?" Eric stretched out his hand, flashing a dazzling gold Rolex as he poured a drink for Hawk and said, "‘District Highlands’ won’t make it to theaters."

Hawk was slightly surprised. "Didn’t Castle Rock Studios already buy the rights?"

"They’re going straight to the DVD and VHS market," Eric replied. "If they’re quick, it could be in video stores right after the Oscars."...

Chapter 17: Money Arrives

At the Great Salt Lake Theater, in the back row, Robert waited for a few minutes.

His assistant hurried over and handed him a form. "Boss, we've got 65 valid responses with an average rating of three and a half stars."

Robert glanced at it and said directly, "Go inform Katherine and tell her I'm ready to discuss the rights. Let her know I only have 10 minutes."

The assistant went to find Katherine and Eric.

A few minutes later, they borrowed th...

**Chapter 21: S-Rank Technique – [Shadow Clone Technique]! (Happy Labor Day Everyone)**

Nara Raku had successfully developed the [Lacquered Eye] technique.

It could be said to have completely freed the Nara Clan from relying on their "hands" while also lightening the clan's combat burden.

From Nara Shikano’s perspective, no matter what resources the clan invested in Nara Raku now, it wouldn't be excessive.

"Speaki...

Chapter 181: Cooperation?

The two had just entered the room.

Temari immediately jumped back, distancing herself from Itsuki, her eyes fixed on him with a look of caution. She said, “Who are you? What’s your purpose?”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Itsuki waved his hand dismissively. “You’re the daughter of the Kazekage. How could you not know who I am?”

Does Sunagakure have spies in the Leaf Village?

It wouldn’t be possible otherwise!

*Chapter 59: A Chance Encounter at the Airport*

Unlike the many people lining up to throw money at James Wan, Jessica hadn’t received any audition invitations. After all, her relationship with Wayne was almost semi-public knowledge, and anyone in the industry could easily find out. Moreover, the fact that three top actresses signed on for The Bourne Identity only to be cast as Jessica's supporting roles was a well-known story within the circle.

A lot of people were definitely envious of her because of this.

*Chapter 146: Rachel McAdams*

“Good afternoon, Director Cassavetes!”

As he got into the car, Luca greeted the director of the film crew.

Nick Cassavetes, the director of The Notebook, was in his forties and a well-known Hollywood director. He had won the Palme d'Or in 1997 with She's So Lovely, helping Sean Penn secure the Best Actor award at Cannes. Cassavetes was a highly influential figure in the industry.

Wearing a baseball cap, he sa...

Chapter 441: Three Waves of Frenzy

Average viewership reached 6.3 million, with a peak moment hitting 7 million.

The average rating was 5.7, with the highest moment reaching 6.6.

These numbers are astonishing for any late-night show on any TV station; they are even impressive for prime-time slots, easily placing the show in the top three for the entire day. Without a doubt, this show dropped a deep-sea bomb on the North American continent—

Submarines began to surfa...

Chapter 310: Trouble

"A pawn, huh... What a nuisance!" Seimei muttered, extending his right hand and gripping the bounty ninja's neck in front of him. With a slight exertion of force, a "crack" sound was heard.

The bounty ninja's head tilted to the side, and he completely lost his life.

Thump~

Seimei released his hand, letting the corpse fall to the ground, while pondering the information he had just obtained from the ninja's mind.

It turned out that it wasn't that they didn't want ...

Chapter 309: Resolution

"Everyone, you should all be bounty ninjas, right? Since you discovered the Takumi Village leader, why didn't you directly take action and instead chose to monitor?"

Hearing Seimei's question, the surrounding bounty ninjas exchanged glances, and finally, one of them sneered: "It's none of your business what we do."

"But those eyes of yours are worth a lot of money on the black market!"

"Brothers, attack!"

Suddenly, the bounty ninja shouted.

Hearing this, t...

Chapter 308: The Tail

In the ninja world, there is no distinction between swords and knives.

Therefore, the Kusanagi Sword in Seimei's hand, although called a sword, was actually a long katana.

Its shape was similar to a Tang Dynasty straight sword, with a blade about three feet long and two fingers wide, single-edged, and a slight curve at the tip, capable of both slashing and thrusting.

Seimei swung it a few times, feeling a bit unaccustomed.

It made sense. He had been using short ...

Chapter 307: Success

In the deserted village.

Seimei's thoughts raced, and after a long while, he finally calmed down.

Then, he clenched his palm, crushing the mass of Wind Release Chakra into pieces.

Indeed, he planned to create his own Wind Release flying ninjutsu, but not now.

There were two reasons: first, the timing wasn't right.

At present, obtaining the Kusanagi Sword from the Takumi Village leader was the most important thing. Other matters could be postponed.

Chapter 306: Race Against Time

"Cat Granny?" Seimei murmured, instantly recalling the matter he had entrusted to Elder Kazen before setting off.

It seemed that the leader of the Land of Craftsmen had been found, and the Kusanagi Sword he had been longing for should also be obtainable.

With this thought, Seimei picked up the note and saw an address written on it.

Undoubtedly, this was the hiding place of the Takumi Village leader.

Seimei put away the note, looked at the black cat, and said: "I...

*Chapter 131: Ino: Suddenly Sasuke Isn't So Great Anymore (Reset)*

Chakra is the result of combining spiritual and physical energy, and it can be used to connect the spiritual energy between people. At this moment, Yamanaka Ino's spirit was inside Aizen's body, feeling as if she were engulfed in a vast white expanse.

Beneath her was an endless lake with gentle ripples, reflecting her delicate figure like a flower in the mirror, or the moon in the water.

 Standing calmly outside the Hokage building, Nara Raku closed the panel with a composed expression.

 Turning around, he stood still and looked up.

 At age twelve, standing beneath the Hokage Tower, like a mere underling.

Chapter 227: You're Proud of That? (Second Update)

Extremely arrogant and domineering words echoed across the land, accompanied by the aftermath of a thunderous explosion.

A declaration filled with murderous intent swept through the city, along with the speaker's overwhelming power.

Whether as a bystander or a participant, Atreus had to admit that this guy, who looked a lot like "The Rock," really made an entrance that deserved a 99 out of 100. The missing point was just to keep him humble.

Even Black Widow, cradled i...

Chapter 226: The Scapegoat Turns Out to Be… (First Update)

Concise and packed with information.

Atreus’s short reply left Black Widow slightly dazed.

Looking at the outside of the building with its walls blown apart, Black Widow saw the entire space surrounded by reflective panels acting as barriers. She knew that this time, Homelander’s death was justified.

This wasn’t a fair fight between equals—it had been a one-sided slaughter from start to finish.

Kratos was terrifying. You could never know how deep his str...

*Chapter 58: Astonishing Results, A Huge Win!*

After leaving the theater and returning home, many viewers began promoting the movie online on their own. This caused the film’s popularity to spread quickly, attracting even more people to the theaters.

The next morning, while Wayne was enjoying breakfast with Mia and two others, overlooking downtown Los Angeles, he received a call from Sera.

"Opening night box office: $3.8 million, with a 79.1% seat occupancy rate."
